Team roping pairs are constantly changing and some of the top pairs in the world are splitting up in 2021.
Coleman Proctor and Ryan Motes are perhaps the most notable separation in 2021. Proctor will pair with Logan Medlin and Motes will rope with Aaron Tsinigine and Matt Sherwood.
Patrick Smith, a long-time partner of Trevor Brazile’s who roped with Luke Brown much of last year, will now be roping with 2020 Rookie of the Year Tanner Tomlinson.
Kaleb Driggers also has a new partner this year in Wesley Thorp, who roped with Chad Masters in 2020. Driggers roped with Corey Petska last year.
The 2020 World Champions Colby Lovell and Paul Eaves will continue to rope together.
Bubba Buckaloo/Billie Jack Saebens and Tate Kirchenschlager/Cole Davison are other notable new pairs.
